LANSING, MI — Verizon Wireless encourages individuals in and around Lansing to try out the company’s 4G LTE network at its new Communications Store at 2713 Preyde Blvd. in Eastwood Town Center, opening May 25 at 10 a.m.

The new 3,105-square-foot store features a large selection of activated devices, including everything from the new iPad to the latest Android smartphones and tablets.

“With so much confusion in the marketplace about the differences in 4G networks, we invite consumers to visit any of our stores to experience for themselves the difference our 4G LTE network offers,” said John Granby, president, Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless. “Shopping for wireless service today is so different than it was just five years ago. Our job is to help all of our customers find the right device with the right solutions that meets their needs and keep them connected with friends, family and business relationships.”

The new store also features:

A bill payment kiosk that enables customers to pay their bills quickly and easily.

A HopeLine® from Verizon donation bin where customers can drop off no-longer-used phones and other devices from any carrier, so they can be turned into support for survivors of domestic violence.

My Verizon Express Services terminals, empowering customers to manage their own accounts, putting them in control and saving them valuable time.
